Compositional Evolution of Zoned Tourmaline Crystals from Pockets in Common Pegmatites of the Moldanubian Zone, Czech Republic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Common pegmatites commonly occur in migmatized biotite-sillimanite gneisses and felsic granulites of the Strazek Unit, Moldanubian Zone, in the Czech Republic. Mostly concordant dikes or irregular bodies consisting of an outer granitic unit, a graphic unit and a pocket unit with large crystals (up to 1 m long) of minerals show transitional to locally sharp contacts to the host migmatized rocks. Thin muscovite-rich veins with the assemblage muscovite, albite, quartz and tourmaline are closely associated spatially. Variable prismatic to lens-shaped tourmaline crystals and their aggregates, up to 30 cm across, from pockets and muscovite-rich veins exhibit striking zoning in the optical microscope and in BSE images: core (foitite-schorl-magnesio-foitite), intermediate zone (schorl-dravite) and narrow outer rim (schorl-dravite); tourmaline from muscovite veins is relatively homogeneous (dravite-magnesio-foitite). A slight decrease in X-site vacancy, in Fe-tot/(Fe-tot + Mg) and Al contents but sharp increase of Ti from the core to intermediate zone and outer rim, respectively, are typical. Nearly all Fe was determined as Fe2+ (3% of Fe3+ in both core and intermediate zones of the tourmaline) using Mossbauer spectroscopy. The mineral assemblages (andalusite + cordierite) of common pegmatites and their geological and petrographic features indicate P-T conditions of similar to 500-650 degrees C and less than similar to 3-4 kbar for massive units, but lower for tourmalines and other minerals from pockets and in particular for associated muscovite-rich veins. The distribution of pegmatites in migmatitic rocks, their concordant and transitional (diffusive) contacts to the country rocks, simple assemblages of minerals, primitive chemical composition of minerals (all typical for abyssal pegmatites), and common large pockets lined with well-developed crystals of smoky quartz, feldspars, muscovite, and tourmalinedo not fit the current classifications of granitic pegmatites.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
